BRAND to cease publication Newspaper to close after 118 years in Hereford

From Staff Reports

With dwindling advertising sales and diminishing circulation, combined with increasing advances in information technology, Roberts Publishing has announced the Hereford BRAND will be ceasing publication.

The 118-year-old newspaper will close its doors for good

upon distribution of its final publication Wednesday.

“Due to an array of circumstances – some beyond anyone’s control – it is with deep regret that situations have necessitated the closing of the Hereford BRAND,” Roberts Publishing vice president Blake Roberts said. “This is not something that just happened, but the result of a downturn in the

print industry during the 21st century.

“Financial concerns were such it was just no longer feasible to keep printing the paper.”

The closure will end more than a half-century of Roberts owning the publication and more than 100 years of the BRAND serving Hereford and Deaf Smith County.

The newspaper was founded

in February 1901 and has run constantly as a weekly, multiweekly or daily since that time.

While newspaper closings have become somewhat of a frequent occurrence during the course of the past 15 years, the event is one that is reason for pause for BRAND managing editor John Carson.

From Staff Reports

The high cost of rural health care made another hit close to home Thursday when action was taken to cease operations of Hereford Regional Medical Center (HRMC) Home Health.

The move came after a vote of the Deaf Smith County Hospital District (DSCHD) Board of Directors during a called meeting.

“This is a tough situation,” DSCHD CEO Jeff Barnhart said. “It’s like this for all of rural health care. It’s tough.

We have to be able to staff things, and we have to get patients back. “[HRMC Home Health] was not making it financially. As much as we hate to give it up, the reality is the financial situation made it necessary.”

HRMC Home Health provides a variety of services for homebound patients, who do not require hospitalization.

The services range from medical treatment and wound care to physical therapy.

While HRMC will be ceasing its Home Health operation, Deaf Smith County will not be without those services.

“From the patient standpoint, it will just be a change in providers,” Barnhart said.

“Luckily, we have other capable providers [of those services] in town.

“Closing this was something we don’t like having to do because it affects people’s lives and livelihoods.”

He added that virtually all the Home Health workers have been reassigned to other positions at HRMC. Admittedly glad to have had those opporPLEASE SEE HRMC | 4

Lola Christine Foster was born on Nov. 2, 1928 in Crowell, to Zanie Parkhill and Jodie Foster.

Christine married George William “Doc” Petree on Dec. 30, 1944 in Hale Center. The couple settled in Hereford, where they raised their three children Leann, Lenney and Sarah.

Christine was a devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She had a kind, loving and servant’s heart; was always there for those in need whether it be her church, family, friends, neighbors or the stray wounded animals that always seemed to find their way to her house for love and comfort. She loved nothing more than spending hours in the kitchen cooking and preparing meals for her beloved family and friends.

“The death of a newspaper is really much like that of a family member,” Carson said. “For nearly 120 years, the BRAND has been keeping the community informed of what its governments, schools and fellow citizens have been doing. That will no longer happen.

“The genuinely sad thing is the community’s loss of a voice and governmental watchdog.”

Although the overall press is the only industry in the history of the United States to currently have and ever have protection under the U.S. Constitution, each media outlet is an individual business.

As such, despite legal protections,

the outlet must be able to operate in manner to remain viable as a business.

The stark realities of the past few years is the BRAND could not generate the revenue necessary to remain open.

All those who have paid subscriptions will be reimbursed for the unused portions of their charges as of Feb. 6. The same holds true for those having paid contracts for future advertising.

A monkey wrench the closure throws into the overall governmental workings of the county is the BRAND serves as the official legal organ for Deaf Smith County.

Following Wednesday’s closure, official publication of legal notices to satisfy state and federal laws will have to appear in another newspaper, which had yet to be decided.

Municipal amnesty being offered Hereford Municipal Court will be conducting an amnesty program from Feb. 18-March 18.

During this time, police officers will not be actively serving warrants, but opportunity will be given for indi-

viduals to pay off any active warrants.

Plans are for the names of those with outstanding municipal court warrants to be printed in either the Feb. 2 or Feb. 6 editions of the Hereford BRAND.

Hereford Municipal Court Judge Jennifer Eggen said those with warrants who do not want their names published should immediately contact Hereford Municipal Court at 806363-7127.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, regular physical activity is one of the most important things older adults can do to promote their long-term health. The CDC recommends that men and women age 65 or older who are generally fit and have no limiting health conditions need at least two hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, such as brisk walking, each week. In addition, such people should perform strength-training activities that work all major muscle groups at least two days per week. While many fit older men and women with no preexisting health conditions

are capable of these activities, those able to push themselves a little further can opt for 75 minutes per week of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity, such as jogging or running, combined with the same strength-training regimen. A combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity aerobic activity coupled with strength training may also provide adequate physical activity for aging men and women. Before beginning a new exercise regimen, men and women should consult with their physicians to discuss any limitations they may have and how to manage those risks while still being physically active.

Area TMN has record certifications

By Jim Steiert Contributing Writer

The Texas Master Naturalist Panhandle Chapter honored annual certifications and milestone achievements by members from Hereford and other Panhandle cities during ceremonies January 28 at the Southwest Library in Amarillo.

Prior to presenting awards, Chapter President Dan Porter of Canyon reported Panhandle chapter members completed 4,153 volunteer hours in 2018 and received 683 hours of advanced training. Among chapter projects were creating a wildflower garden at the Buffalo Lake National Wildlife Refuge at Umbarger and maintaining bird feeders at Palo Duro Canyon State Park. Educational efforts were also included.

Top milestone awards went to Joe Mihm, Amarillo, recognized for having surpassed 2,000 volunteer hours. He should achieve the 2,500 volunteer hours milestone this year. He also received his 2018 certification pin.

Gold dragonfly pins were presented to Theresa Rooney and Kent Fewell of Amarillo for attaining the 1,000 volunteer hours mark. Silver dragonfly pins went to Andy Burcham, Carolyn Dutton, and Robert Keeter of Amarillo for reaching the 500 volunteer hours milestone.

A 250 volunteer hour bronze dragonfly pin and year certification went to Kara Dyer and Kathleen Green, Amarillo, and Anthony Torres Jr., Borger

tunities for them, Barnhart said things like the ceasing of Home Health operations, stopping or starting of others programs and/or services is all part of the reality administrators face in modern rural health

care.

“We have to reinvent ourselves in rural health care,” he said. “It was no one’s or service’s fault on the closing. It just financially had to be done.

“We have to be responsible for the taxpayers’ money. If something is not making money, we have to make changes.”

Ocelot pins for achieving annual certification for 2018 were presented to Harold Armstrong and Jim Steiert of Hereford, Mark and Roberta Allen, Bernice Blasingame and Dan Porter of Canyon, Steven Donaldson and Donald Laughery, Fritch, Jeanie Washer, Borger, and Cheryl and Peter Berzanskis, Andy Burcham, Maire Cox, Carolyn Dutton, Kent and Deborah Fewell, Kathleen Green, Kathleen Guerrero, Jeremy and Misty Pierce, Vernon Purcell, Jennifer Siegmann, Susan Thompson, Joanne Toler, Susie Wheeler, and Mary York of Amarillo.

Porter reported the Panhandle Chapter had recorded the greatest number of certifications in a one year period in its history dating back

to 2003.

The Texas Master Naturalist program began in 1998 as a joint effort between Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service to provide education, outreach, and service dedicated to the beneficial management of natural resources and areas within communities throughout the state. The program provides an opportunity for concerned adult citizens of all ages to learn about the natural environment and seek ways to better their communities.

To gain the title of “Texas Master Naturalist,” participants must complete a minimum of 40 hours of natural resource training, 40 hours of service and eight hours of advanced

training offered through the program within their first year. Subsequent annual recertification requires completion of a minimum of 40 hours of volunteer service and eight hours of advanced training.

The Texas Master Naturalist program reached 4.4 million volunteer service hours valued at more than $100 million in 2018 as the program marked its 20th anniversary. The 4.4 million hours of service were achieved by more than 9,329 volunteers in 48 recognized local chapters throughout Texas, including the Panhandle Chapter.

The impact of Texas Master Naturalist volunteers has been seen on more than 226,200 acres of land across Texas.

Tip of the Day Live comfortably on less Many people look toward retirement with mixed feelings. There is the anticipation and excitement of no longer having to stick to a set schedule. However, there may be some trepidation about living without a steady income.

Bloomberg financial experts found the number of Americans aged 65 and older without a disability that weren’t in the labor force rose to 800,000 in the fourth quarter of 2016. This has become a long-standing trend of Baby Boomers leaving the workforce and entering retirement. Yet, a Statistics Canada study of people between the ages 60 and 64 who had left long-term employment found 43 percent of them were working again, most within a year of leaving their job.

Although boredom may have compelled many of those people to reenter the workforce, some may have started working again to make ends meet. Researchers found the higher the earnings in one’s late 40s, the more likely a retiree is to go back to work.

While retirees may need to alter their spending habits, it is possible to live happily on less. Here are some ways to do just that. · Accurately assess home expenses.

The National Foundation for Credit Counseling says the cost of home-related expenses accounts for roughly 45 percent of spending for retirees. Individuals can add up exactly how much their homes are costing them and then decide if downsizing is a practical solution. Downsizing has a host of benefits, not the least of which is reducing housing-related expenses. · Invest in health care. Unexpected health care costs can quickly deplete individuals’ finances. That’s why it is essential to have a solid insurance plan in place. Health care planning also may include thinking ahead to long-term care, such as assisted living and nursing homes. One may have to make concessions elsewhere, but investing in health care can assuage concerns men and women might have about the cost of living in their golden years.

Community opens hearts, wallets at 2019 stock show

From Staff Reports

The 2019 Hereford Livestock Show Premium Sale Jan. 18 allowed the opportunity for more than one segment of the community to lend a helping hand to local student.

Prior to the start of the sale for the Jim Marsh Scholarship stock trailer, sale attendees were told the story of stock show participant Isaiah Alejandre.

A Hereford High sophomore, Alejandre is in need of a liver transplant and is facing a threemonth hospital stay in Houston when the transplant is performed.

The subsequent trailer auction saw Mc6 Cattle

Company come out on top before the trailer was donated back to sale to help raise additional funds for Alejandre.

That led to a purchase by Spicer Gripp Youth Foundation for $8,500 before the trailer was donated back and bought by Warren White for $6,500.

He donated it back, and two subsequent sales netted a total of $11,500.

Later in the evening, fellow youth competitors Carmyn Blair, Stewart Skiles, Macie Mimms and Nixon Monroe all donated the proceeds from their animals’ sales to the effort.

“It says a lot about a young person who will

give up winnings to help out another person,” said HHS media specialist Jeanie Garman, who is familiar with all the students involved. “It is very humbling to see young people putting the needs of others before themselves.

“These students have demonstrated that is more than winning and getting a paycheck. It is about doing your best and helping others.

These students are making a positive difference in the lives of Isaiah and his family.”

When the evening had ended, it was announced that $40,400 had been raised to assist Alejandre and his family with medical costs.

· Use alternative transportation. Cars can be expensive. A budget-friendly alternative to driving is to use public transportation or transportation services provided to seniors free or for nominal fees. · Take advantage of senior discounts.

Many restaurants, stores and service centers offer discounts to seniors. The starting age for discounts may vary from store to store, so always ask before cashing out. · Shop for food differently. Bulk buys may have been appropriate for men and women when there were kids running around, but empty-nesters can cut back on food expenses. Shopping sales and making more meals at home can help seniors save money. The market research firm NPD Group found that in-home meals cost roughly one-third of what it costs to eat the same food at a restaurant.

Save dining out for special occasions.

Retirees can make changes to save money without negatively affecting their quality of life.

Walsh tabbed as 2019 Distinguished Grad From Staff Reports

A foundation set during time at St. Anthony’s Catholic School is what propelled Deanna Walsh to be named the school’s 2019 Distinguished Graduate.

The announcement was made Sunday during a special liturgy to celebrate the opening of Catholic School Week.

The oldest of seven siblings who all attended St. Anthony’s, Walsh graduated from eighth grade in 1957 and Hereford High School in 1961. She went on to earn a bachelors and masters degree in education with a focus on reading from Eastern New Mexico University.

Those who nominated Walsh pointed to her background at St. Anthony’s as being instrumental in her 30-year career in education.

A Catholic since all her life, Walsh and her husband have been active members of St. John Neumann Parish in Lubbock for 25 years.

Since retiring, Walsh has been active in liturgical ministries and made the ACTS community a focal part of her faith life.

She brought ACTS to Lubbock and served as the first direction of the Lub-

Whitefaces take wind out of Tornadoes, 64-32

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

Trailing only in the game’s first seconds, the Hereford Whitefaces emerged from the gate, found themselves, then stampeded visiting Lamesa, 64-32, in District 3-4A hoop play Tuesday.

Snapping a six-six game losing streak, the Herd improved to 10-19 overall and notched their league win of the season (1-4).

“Overall, this was one of our most complete games all season,” Hereford coach C.J. Villegas said. “We defended as well as we have all season, and that frustrated them. Then, we rebounded well and didn’t shoot badly.

“If you can make it tough on the other team to score, then you have a chance to win.”

The Tornadoes led 1-0 in the game’s first minute, but the Whitefaces were up 8-3 after a first quarter that saw them get their defensive pressure measured.

They cut it loose in the second and turned up the heat. Scoring the final four points of the half, the Herd took a 26-11 edge into intermission.

Opening the third quarter on a 13-4 spurt, the Whitefaces pushed the lead to 39-15 on a Kaleb Larra 3-pointer with 2:09 to go in

the period.

There was no repeat of a big collapse in the final nine minutes of play as happened Jan. 15 when a 17-point lead was squandered in a loss to Levelland.

The Herd finished the third quarter with a 4720 bulge that reached a game-high 34 points at 6430 when Tye Davis scored with 40 seconds left.

The Whitefaces spread the scoring around as but one of the 12 who played scratched the scorebook, but only two broke double digits.

Larra came off the bench to pace the Whitefaces with 12 points that included a pair of treys.

Blake Walker added 11 points – 9 in the first half – while Tanner Frische chipped in 9 points, in addition to hauling down 14 rebounds.

No Tornadoes reached double figures as Jackson Napper led Lamesa with 9 points before fouling out with 3:55 remaining.

The win pulls the Whitefaces into a tie with Lamesa in the District 3-4A standings at 1-4 as five teams vie for four playoff spots.

“This was a huge win for us,” Villegas said. “It was a huge confidence builder for moving forward. We Sebastian Grajeda (0) goes up on the baseline as the Whitefaces won their first district game Tuesday. BRAND/John Carson

Lady Herd clicks, runs past Lamesa

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

Using a first-quarter run to put the Lady Tornadoes at arm’s length, the Hereford Lady Whitefaces frolicked in a summer breeze Tuesday for a 61-41 win over visiting Lamesa in District 3-4A hardwood action.

Notching their third straight win and seventh in the last nine games, the Lady Herd improved to 15-14 and move above .500 for the first time since late November.

The win also clinched no lower than third place for the Lady Whitefaces in the 3-4A playoff race with two games to play.

“We played one of our best game,” Hereford coach Bryan Lintner said. “The defense was good. The energy was good. Everyone contributed. There were a lot of good things.

“Offensively and defensively, we clicked.”

The Lady Whitefaces snapped a 4-4 tie with an 8-0 run to take the lead for good before opening the second quarter with another 8-0 spurt to take a 23-10 lead.

The Lady Tornadoes trimmed the deficit to seven at 31-24 on a Kaylea Davis 3-pointer with 1:09 to go in the half, but could get no closer.

Maintaining a ninepoint halftime edge through the third, the Lady Herd hit the gas in the final period with 21-6 surge to the final margin, which matched the largest lead of the night.

All nine Lady Whitefac-

es who played scored as Lori Arias put together an impressive night to take game scoring honors with 22 points.

The senior was 6-of-9 from the field – including 3-of-5 from behind the arc – while connecting on 7-of-7 free throws, pulling down 5 rebounds and doling out 2 assists.

Taytum Stow added 13 points for the Lady Herd and posted another double-double with a game-high 10 rebounds.

She also came away with a game-high 4 steals.

Samaje Mason led the Lady Tornadoes with 18 points, but was held below her 20-plus pointsper-game average. Only 8 of her points came from the field after she hit 10-of-12 free throws.

No other Lady Tornado had more than 6 points.

Hitting 46.3 percent of their total shots, the Lady Whitefaces were 13-of-24 on 2-pointers (54.2 percent) and 6-of17 on treys – a vast improvement over Jan. 25’s 0-for-10 at Lubbock Estacado.

They also scored 19 points off 21 Lamesa turnovers and held a 14-7 edge in steals.

“This gives us tremendous confidence going into the last two games,” Lintner said. “Going 2-2 on the first run and getting a big win at Estacado (Jan. 25) was huge.

“Then to come home, play well and control the games was ideal.”

With no lower than the No. 3 playoff seed already in their pockets, the Lady Whitefaces
